Table Football Tournament 2023

After a two-year break, the IniciativAngola association in cooperation with the Katoliška mladina organised the annual Table Football Tournament in honor of Don Giovanni Bosco in the St. Primus parish courtyard on Saturday, 21 January 2023. After the welcoming speech by tournament leader Jona Zeichen, 16 teams dueled in four groups for victory. After the group phase, volunteers Sara Toyos and Miranda Kobalia provided physical refreshment. Then came the final phase. The exciting final match was contested by the teams "Beast" (Thomas Karel and Marcel Hackl) and "LaraSea&Samuel" (Sara-Lea Kummer and Emanuel Stern), with the duo Beast winning.

At 18:00, all participants celebrated the Youth Mass together, which was accompanied by the Danica Youth Choir. Father Hanzej Rosenzopf preached about the founder of the order Don Bosco, who was committed to young people. Giovanni Bosco offered young people a place to feel good, play, learn and pray. Together with refugees from Syria, Iran and Armenia, young people prayed for peace in the world.

Afterwards, the participants were invited to the award ceremony and an agape. The Don Bosco Festival in St. Primus came to a festive end.

The civil servants Gabriel Preinig, Simon Lampichler and Jona Zeichen contributed significantly to the success of the day, which brought much joy to the young people. Thank you!
